suggested they want to limit the violence. Does anyone know if the
intention is to make the Groo movie into much more of a family-friendly
comedy rather than a social commentary on the negative effects of
senseless violence? <<
Not exactly "limit" the violence, but rather not graphically depicting the 
cutting, etc. As with the comics-- you see Groo rushing in, then the next panel 
shows a bunch of bodies with little "ghosts" rising from them. Stan does the 
same in Usagi. The problem is, cartoons are continuous action, not a series of 
"freeze frames" where your own imagination fills in what wasn't shown.

I suppose Groo entering a fray could kick up a lot of dust to obscure the 
screen, then when the dust settles, the usual post-Groo battle scene would be 
there.... But, as Sergio said, that's something they can figure out when they get 
that far in the production-- a lot of other stuff needs to be done before the 
drawing starts....

PS: I met "No Way" today-- he worked at the Art Show with me. He bought some 
Sergio art....
